Micro bonding is a revolutionary installation technique for hair extensions. Micro bonding involves cutting down extension strands so that you can install them on smaller sections of hair. This technique allows for precision placement, less weight and more flexibility.<\/p>\n
Wondering how it works with Tape-Ins?<\/p>\n
Micro bonding works especially well for clients with thin, fine and fragile hair. It\u2019s a great technique for any time you need to install extensions in the crown area and near the hairline. This technique provides delicate coverage for hair thinning due to aging, illness, stress, hormonal changes, or other hair challenges.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For micro tapes:<\/strong>\u00a0<\/span>When installing micro bonds with Tape-Ins, be precise in ensuring that the edges are sealed well. This helps keep the extensions securely in place. Match the tape up when you sandwich your wefts (keeping the curved edge with curved edge, and straight with straight). If you have a client with an especially sensitive scalp, you might also consider using scissors to round the top corners of any micro bonds, so that the tape lays flat and is comfortable.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”5px||5px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”10px||10px||true|false” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/reddmoon.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/10\/w16-scaled.jpg” title_text=”w16″ _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto Flex||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Wondering how Tape-Ins get installed in your hair? Preparing for Installation:<\/p>\n The process typically begins with a thorough consultation between the client and a professional stylist. During this consultation, the stylist assesses the client’s natural hair, discusses the desired look, and determines the suitable length, texture, and color of the Tape-In extensions.<\/p>\n Sectioning and Parting:<\/p>\n Once the client’s natural hair and extension preferences are established, the stylist proceeds to section and part the hair. Sections are created horizontally, starting from the nape of the neck and moving upward. Each section is carefully parted to expose a thin layer of natural hair where the Tape-In wefts will be attached.<\/p>\n Applying the Tape-In Extensions:<\/p>\n The Tape-In extensions come pre-taped and ready for installation. The stylist takes one weft at a time, peeling off the protective backing to reveal the medical-grade adhesive on each side. The adhesive is applied to the thin layer of natural hair, sandwiching it between two Tape-In wefts. The wefts are pressed together firmly to ensure a secure bond.<\/p>\n Precision and Placement:<\/p>\n Precision is key in Tape-In extension installation. The stylist must carefully align the wefts to create a seamless blend with the natural hair. Attention is given to ensuring that the wefts are strategically placed to hide any visible edges, creating a natural and undetectable appearance.<\/p>\n Bonding and Sealing:<\/p>\n Once the wefts are securely in place, the bonding process begins. The medical-grade adhesive creates a strong and long-lasting bond that can withstand regular washing, styling, and maintenance. It is crucial to seal the edges of the wefts meticulously to prevent any slippage over time.<\/p>\n Blending and Styling:<\/p>\n After the Tape-In extensions are installed and bonded, the stylist blends the natural hair with the extensions to create a seamless transition. This often involves cutting and shaping the extensions to match the desired style. The client can then enjoy the freedom to style their hair as they normally would, incorporating the extensions into various hairstyles.<\/p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.27.4″ _module_preset=”default” text_font=”Roboto Flex||||||||” text_font_size=”16px” text_line_height=”1.8em” custom_margin=”0px||0px||true|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″] Your Care Guide Cheat Sheet: Tape-In Maintenance 101: Do\u2019s & Don\u2019ts After install, wait 2-3 days to wash your hair.
